Suspicious of His Boots.

1t does look as il after a man got
married he lost all capability of looking
after himself. We knew a man who
had been married several years and he
hardly knows how to button his collar
now, and would wear his coat inside
out if his wife didn't keep an eye on
him. Once this young man noticed his
boots were pretty well worn. He said
TO his wife:
Haven't 1 got any other boots can
wearI These are awful"
Yes" she said; there Is pair of
side button boots in the closet there. -
He fetched them out.
''IIow does 1t come that I've had
these boots all this time and been wear
ing these worn-out onesI' Then he
put them on. Yes, l knew there
must be something the matter with the
blamed boots. They don't ft me at all.
l can't walk III them" And he made
faces as he stamped up and down the
room. "They are not my boots, yet
they are a mans boots. Madam, who
is so familiar in this house as to have a
pair of boots"
well, dear, they'll perhaps be more
comfortable if you'll put the right boot
on the right foot-''

Planting Bananas in Florida

The banana fiourishes best in a very
moist, rich soil, but will not endure
standing water about the roots. The
best possible location for a banana
patch is on the bank shopping down to
a lake or "bayhead." The "sprIGgy''
nature of the soil in such a location
agrees perfectly with the roots of the
banana, provided they are not planted
far enough down TO reach standing
water. The preparation of the land for
bananas does not necessarily involve
thorough grubbing of new land, as on
rich hummock OF bayhead tracts, the
simple cutting of the trees and under
growth, and budding" the palmet-
toes, is all that is really necessary. On
rich new land OF this soil the plants
may be set Immediately after the land
is cleared, with no other preparation.
The palmetto tops, and most of the
brush and logs may be left upon the
ground-cuttIng up brush, In the first
place somewhat All this rubbish will
decay Just about as fast as the roots of
the plants need it, and much of it can
be knocked to pieces in a few months
with an ordinary hoe. The plants may
be set then in true Honduras fashion,
of which friend gives the following
nlOdus operdndt, in the words OF a ma
tive: "ln de fus place, said he. I'VE
chop down de trees.and burns all of dey
tat we can; den We cuts de banana
sprouts into pieces wild an ak and
makes little holes vid mattock about
so far apart, (the distance illustrated
by stretching out his long arms, den
we chucks dem in, and dlCdg de goes.

Queer Love Letter.

Charlie had queer smile on his face
as he left me IN the morning. 1 told
him that L had intended TO make a
call with Mrs. Wickliffe, but had moth
ing to wear. He laughed and told me
that L must get along for awhile with
what l had; that he was making too
little money to buy anything.
81 won't be home at the usual
time," he said at the door, ''for l am
expecting some friends" i wondered
at his manner, and after he had gone
sat down and had good cry by N.Y.
self.
After 1 had sobbed myself into a
better frame of mind, went out and
got down Charlie's common coat to
mend 1t. l emptied out the pockets
frs and then got out nay needle.
What a mixture there was in those
pockets. Three or four handKerchiefs,
broken cigars, pencils, buttons and
part of letter. 3 letter!
l looked at that letter suspiciously.
Then l did mean thing, L opened 1t
and read it.
1t was penned in feminine chirogra-
ply and ran as follows:
DEAR CHARLIE:-The dresses are
all ready and the navy blue IS exqui-
site. ! shall come on Thursday, the
10th. Be sure and meet me at the
station, and for goodness sake! keep
the whole thing secret.
There the sheet was torn of. L read
these lines over and over, lost In wOR-
der What woman has right TO ad-
dress my husband as Dear Charlie?'
was so startled by the letter that
know Mrs. Wickliffe must have no
ticed it when she came in
"Are you not going TO see the bride
with mep" she asked.
81 can't" stammered out 1 for
